2011-06-28release notes for 0.7.11v0.7.11Rich Felker1-0/+22
2011-06-28reclaim the memory wasted by dynamic linking for use by mallocRich Felker1-0/+39
2011-06-28use type directives for fenv asm functionsRich Felker2-0/+14
2011-06-28use load address from elf header if possibleRich Felker1-1/+1
this is mostly useless for shared libs (though it could help for prelink-like purposes); the intended use case is for adding support for calling the dynamic linker directly to run a program, as in: ./libc.so ./a.out foo this usage is not yet supported.
2011-06-28make dynamic linker relocate the main program image last, after all libsRich Felker1-0/+1
prior to this change, copy relocations for initialized pointer variables would not reflect the relocated contents of the pointer.
2011-06-28fix a few bugs from last dynamic linking build system commitRich Felker1-2/+2
some cruft was left and DESTDIR was not being used correctly.
2011-06-27minor updates to INSTALL documentationRich Felker1-0/+10
2011-06-27cleanup shared library build system to be more $HOME-local-install friendlyRich Felker3-16/+21
the path for the dynamic linker is now configurable, and failure to install the symlink for it will not stop the build.
2011-06-27further fixup dlfcn.hRich Felker1-4/+10
2011-06-27match LSB/glibc constants for dynamic loaderRich Felker1-4/+4
2011-06-26fix stale pointer issue in dynamic linker with dlopenRich Felker1-0/+1
2011-06-26don't leave the lock held on dlopen failure..Rich Felker1-2/+2
2011-06-26add RTLD_DEFAULT supportRich Felker1-1/+2
2011-06-26in dlopen: don't use null pointerRich Felker1-3/+3
deps can be null if a library has no dependencies (such as libc itself)
2011-06-26fix resolving symbols in objects loaded in RTLD_LOCAL modeRich Felker1-0/+11
basically we temporarily make the library and all its dependencies part of the global namespace but only for the duration of performing relocations, then return them to their former state.
2011-06-26experimental dlopen/dlsym and dynlink changes needed to support themRich Felker1-8/+125
2011-06-26type directives for x86_64 math asmRich Felker2-0/+2
2011-06-26error handling in dynamic linkingRich Felker1-2/+19
some of the code is not yet used, and is in preparation for dlopen which needs to be able to handle failure loading libraries without terminating the program.
2011-06-26fix useless use of potentially-uninitialized mode variable in sem_openRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-06-26eliminate OOB array hacks in mallocRich Felker1-46/+45
2011-06-26use .type directives for math asm (needed for dynamic linking to work)Rich Felker15-0/+26
2011-06-25fix some symbol resolution issues in dynamic linkerRich Felker3-4/+6
1. search was wrongly beginning with lib itself rather than dso head 2. inconsistent resolution of function pointers for functions in plt
2011-06-25fix dynamic linker issue in musl-gcc wrapperRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-06-25wordexp cannot use we_offs unless WRDE_DOOFFS flag is setRich Felker1-1/+2
previously, a potentially-indeterminate value from we_offs was being used, resulting in wrong we_wordc and subsequent crashes in the caller.
2011-06-25XSI search.h API implementation by Szabolcs NagyRich Felker6-4/+392
2011-06-25handle library paths better (ignore empty path components, etc.)Rich Felker1-3/+5
2011-06-25move all limits that don't vary out of bits/limits.h, into main limits.hRich Felker3-53/+24
2011-06-25fix possible (questionable) strict aliasing violations and ptr arithRich Felker1-3/+3
2011-06-25const correctness in mq_notifyRich Felker1-1/+1
why did gcc allow this invalid assignment to compile in the first place?
2011-06-25proper path searching for dynamic linkerRich Felker3-14/+42
first, use $LD_LIBRARY_PATH unless suid. if that fails, read path from /etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path and fallback to a builtin default.
2011-06-25optimize opendir using O_CLOEXECRich Felker1-2/+1
2011-06-25discard dso descriptors after performing relocationsRich Felker1-0/+12
eventually (once dlopen exists) this behavior will be conditional on dlopen/dlsym not being reachable.
2011-06-25keep track of which dsos have been relocatedRich Felker1-0/+1
2011-06-24use soname in ld-musl.so to prevent filename appearing in DT_NEEDEDsRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-06-24use symlink rather than bogus linker script for libc.soRich Felker1-2/+2
the linker script caused a bogus DT_NEEDED entry
2011-06-23adapt build/install/gcc-wrapper systems for dynamic linking supportRich Felker3-9/+20
2011-06-23prepare support for LD_LIBRARY_PATH (checking suid/sgid safety)Rich Felker1-0/+6
the use of this test will be much stricter than glibc and other typical implementations; the environment will not be honored whatsoever unless the program is confirmed non-suid/sgid by the aux vector the kernel passed in. no fallback to slow syscall-based checking is used if the kernel fails to provide the information; we simply assume the worst (suid) in this case and refuse to honor environment.
2011-06-23initial commit of prng implementation by Szabolcs NagyRich Felker3-12/+111
2011-06-19make ldso asm more uniform with rest of codebase (no unnecessary suffixes)Rich Felker1-12/+12
2011-06-19x86_64: ensure that dtor pointer passed to app is 0 so it won't be usedRich Felker1-0/+1
leaving it uninitialized caused unpredictable crashes or worse due to calling an indeterminate function pointer.
2011-06-18dynamic linker 64bit fix: hash table entries are always 32bitRich Felker1-2/+2
2011-06-18experimental dynamic linker!Rich Felker5-0/+466
some notes: - library search path is hard coded - x86_64 code is untested and may not work - dlopen/dlsym is not yet implemented - relocations in read-only memory won't work
2011-06-18fix memory leak on failure in realpathRich Felker1-4/+4
2011-06-18copy-paste error in prctl.hRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-06-16fix some struct padding to match LSB/glibc ABI where it may be helpfulRich Felker2-2/+5
2011-06-16duplicate re_nsub in LSB/glibc ABI compatible locationRich Felker2-2/+3
2011-06-14restore use of .type in asm, but use modern @function (vs %function)Rich Felker20-0/+29
this seems to be necessary to make the linker accept the functions in a shared library (perhaps to generate PLT entries?) strictly speaking libc-internal asm should not need it. i might clean that up later.
2011-06-14__syscall5 inline is having trouble with PIC; just use the function for nowRich Felker1-0/+7
2011-06-14fix race condition in pthread_killRich Felker3-1/+8
if thread id was reused by the kernel between the time pthread_kill read it from the userspace pthread_t object and the time of the tgkill syscall, a signal could be sent to the wrong thread. the tgkill syscall was supposed to prevent this race (versus the old tkill syscall) but it can't; it can only help in the case where the tid is reused in a different process, but not when the tid is reused in the same process. the only solution i can see is an extra lock to prevent threads from exiting while another thread is trying to pthread_kill them. it should be very very cheap in the non-contended case.
2011-06-14run dtors before taking the exit-lock in pthread exitRich Felker1-2/+2
previously a long-running dtor could cause pthread_detach to block.
